Dynamics-based peptide-MHC binding optimization by a convolutional variational autoencoder: a use-case model for CASTELO [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
An unsolved challenge in the development of antigen specific immunotherapies is determining the optimal antigens to target. Comprehension of antigen-MHC binding is paramount towards achieving this goal. Here, we present CASTELO, a combined machine learning-molecular dynamics (ML-MD) approach to design novel antigens of increased MHC binding affinity ...

T cells expressing an anti-B-cell maturation antigen chimeric antigen receptor cause remissions of multiple myeloma.

Blood, 2016
Therapies with novel mechanisms of action are needed for multiple myeloma (MM). B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is expressed in most cases of MM. We conducted the first-in-humans clinical trial of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells targeting BCMA ...

Cytoplasmic delivery of antibodies through grafting a functional single complementarity‐determining region loop

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We achieved cytoplasmic delivery of non‐cell‐penetrating IgGs by grafting a single functional complementarity‐determining region 1 (CDR1) from the light chain variable region (VL) of the cell‐internalizable 3D8 antibody. The engineered IgG acquired cell‐penetrating ability while maintaining antigen affinity, highlighting CDR1 grafting as a promising ...

The Frequency of HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DRB1 Alleles in Patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in the Turkish Population: A Case-Control Study

Turkish Journal of Hematology, 2016
We studied the frequencies of human leukocyte antigen alleles (A, B, and DRB1) in 90 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and then compared them with 126 controls in this study. Although the frequencies of the A*03 allele, the DRB1*03 allele,

A pentapeptide as minimal antigenic determinant for MHC class I-restricted T lymphocytes [PDF]

, 1989
Peptides that are antigenic for T lymphocytes are ligands for two receptors, the class I or II glycoproteins that are encoded by genes in the major histocompatibility complex, and the idiotypic / chain T-cell antigen receptor1–9. That a peptide must bind

Decoding the dual role of autophagy in cancer through transcriptional and epigenetic regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation controls autophagy, which exerts context‐dependent effects on cancer: Autophagy suppresses tumorigenesis by maintaining cellular homeostasis or promotes tumor progression by supporting survival under stress. In this “In a Nutshell” article, we explore the intricate mechanisms of the dual function of autophagy ...

MHC-linked and un-linked class I genes in the wallaby [PDF]

, 2009
Background: MHC class I antigens are encoded by a rapidly evolving gene family comprising classical and non-classical genes that are found in all vertebrates and involved in diverse immune functions.

Discrimination of Membrane Antigen Affinity by B cells Requires Dominance of Kinetic Proofreading over Serial Triggering [PDF]

arXiv, 2010
B cells receptor (BCR) signaling in response to membrane-bound antigen increases with antigen affinity, a process known as affinity discrimination. We use computational modeling to show that B cell affinity discrimination requires that kinetic proofreading predominate over serial engagement.

Antigen-capturing nanoparticles improve the abscopal effect and cancer immunotherapy

Nature Nanotechnology, 2017
Nanoparticles can be utilized to capture tumour antigens and improve their presentation, which in turn improves the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. Immunotherapy holds tremendous promise for improving cancer treatment1.

Identification of functional and diverse circulating cancer‐associated fibroblasts in metastatic castration‐naïve prostate cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer growth, invasion (metastasis), and drug resistance. Here, we identified functional and diverse circulating CAFs (cCAFs) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). cCAFs were found in higher numbers and were functional and diverse in mPCa patients versus healthy individuals, suggesting their ...
